275092 - Remember collapsed status of account

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Thunderbird :: Account Manager, enhancement)

Description

[Heiko Adams]

Thunderbird doesn't remember the collapsed status of mail accounts in the
account manager window. 
When I collapse some mail accounts in the account manager, close the window, and
reopen the accout manager all mail accounts are expanded again.
I think that making TB remember the collapsed status of the accounts would be a
huge improvement of TBs usability

WFM with TB 1.0, Win2K.  Do you have any extensions installed which could 
trigger this behavior?

There is a recent bug about occasional startups having the mail accounts 
collapsed and the news accounts expanded... see bug 272602.

I think you missunderstood me. I'm talking about the account settings ;-)
Maybe it was my fault. If it was I'm sorry.

No, my mistake.  However, I must disagree that this would be a "huge 
improvement" in usability.

Manage >10 Accounts in that window and we'll talk again about the size of
usability improvement ;-)
